On these pages are my short stories, views on current affairs, graffiti, or just ramblings.

I know, that should be no big deal, but I'm trying to set the bar low for me this Round for a number of things. Better the get some habits and a sense of accomplishment established. I did do pretty well so far, also, if I apply my general 'writerly' focus to things.

Status:

Write

New stuff - I did get a story done for my new Flash Fiction site. Comments welcome.

Editing - I started back into my third NaNoWriMo novel, Agnes of Grimm. I really like the characters, but I know it needs a lot of work. Usually, I attack it every few months, reviewing the outline and characters to see if the base is solid. And drop it after a week. Hopefully, this ROW will keep me at it long enough to see some progress.

Reading - I have Son of a Trickster out from the library but barely started. Distracted by the Globe and Mail paper.

Health. I've been aiming at 3500 steps, and missing too often. If I look for 2500, I hit that 57 over the past week. That feels better. Sleep - 4/7 nights hit my 7 hours. But, I hit the midnight bedtime only once.

Social -I got to my local Thursday, for a good visit with friends. And I joined friends online twice for a convoy and chat.

Fun

I'm spending less gaming time, but keeping to schedule to encourage people to follow.

Comments

I think that creating a writing routine and momentum is really important. I'm working on establishing good habits too.

For feedback, have you tried critters.org? I used them for a while when they were only sci fi and fantasy but quit when I started writing more romance and less fantasy. I'm thinking about trying again now that they have more genre options available. Basically, you offer one quality critique a week and can put your own work through the line to be critiqued. The comments I got from there were usually pretty insightful.
